Fine-Tuning LLMs on a MacBook Pro With MPS and MLX
Why Apple Silicon is useful for local LLM prototyping and LoRA experiments, but still has sharp boundaries compared with CUDA-scale NeMo or Hugging Face training.
Outcome: Separated Mac-local MPS and MLX fine-tuning paths from NVIDIA-only training features so local experiments can start with realistic hardware expectations.
